I've suddenly gotten a number of these from different people, all with "correct" looking addresses. However, when you look at the expanded header info, they're coming from a totally different email server.
Obviously, this is not genuine, just wondering if I'm the only one that's getting these. For privacy, I blanked out the person's personal email. I've gotten three of these exactly the same, only filled in with different members addresses and names.

I have not gotten any.
I have not so far. I do get some similar scams from other sources in my corporate email. I just delete them.
I haven't got any yet.
Alex and Greg just posted that they've been hacked, those are two of the guys I got the email from. That answered my question. Link to Alex's notification about his email being hacked: My email has been hacked
I've gotten a couple today. One from Alex M, one from Greg Houser. Identical wording. Don't open any of these.

Same here.
My office has an email system that will not let any unknown emails thru. Even with that, I never open anything from anyone I dont know and am not expecting.
Got one from Dotty P.....did not open
Thanks for the heads up
Yes. Checked with the sender that was listed in the from address using a different email, and he stated he did not send it.
I have on two occasions gotten emails saying that Dotty Perry had sent a Dropbox link to a document. The last was only several weeks ago. I deleted both as spam. While I did in fact correspond with her years ago regarding some For Sale forum items, I haven't had reason to be in touch with her since.

I got one from Dotty over a year ago and one two weeks ago. They went in the circular file.
I just checked and I got one from Alex. I deleted it.
Thanks Gunrunner,
Got one from Alex M. today. Thanks to you its gone.
Grateful Ed Boyle
Short answer, this happens all the time from a variety of different friend groups of mine. Usual come-on is something like "Did you see this..." or "Do you know what so-and-so is doing..." with the dangerous link included. After reading the line, if it doesn't seem like something they normally send, just delete it and move on.
Unfortunately, my brother-in-law likes to use lines like that to send me funny stuff. Then, I have to hold my breath and click. That's when I'm glad I regularly back-up my data, update my anti-virus and firewall, and have an updated operating system.
